Abstract:

This publication contains the results of a full scale load testing program used to predict and measure the bahavior of five spread footings on sand. These results were presented at the Prediction Symposium sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration at the occasion of the Settlement '94 ASCE Conference at Texas A&M University, June 16-18, 1994. At Texas A&M University National Geotechnical Experimentation Site five spread footings ranging in size from 1x1 m to 3x3 m were load tested to 150 mm of displacement on sandy soil. These papers present the results of the load tests; present the data upon which all predictions are based; describe methodologies and judgments used to make the predictions; and summarize the predictions and compare predicted responses.
